Hey Hooleyboy,

Did you by chance see this over in the Crossfire Forum?

Interesting, but I doubt that an aftermarket driveshaft made for a SLK32/SRT6 would work on a C32/C55 since they have a shorter wheelbase. Also, the SLK32/SRT6 uses the smaller differential and prop flange than a C32/C55/E55, etc. So it's highly probable that the lengths are different and the ends are different.

Gramma_Benz

Yeah, I figured they weren't the same, but since it is a custom prototype, maybe they could custom make one for Hooleyboy as well.

but then again, I don't know if anyone knows this vendor very well.

hooleyboy

I wonder If the drive shaft is coming out? Maybe Evosport is testing it or found some flaws.

And why are we going to pay 1000-1200 for a HSTC?

otoupalik

I am having the first one FINALLY made this week. It will be on a CLKBS next week, 100%.

FINALLY!

chitownwhiteC55

Cant wait to see the outcome of this drive shaft in the spring i will be all over it... my plan ist to get the C55 into the high 11 on motor only.

And i agree with hooleyboy why so much fot the HSTC? when other vendors can do it for half the price, whats so special about it?

blackbenzz

You shouldn't, but to answer why... benz tax. You can get one for half that price.
I might do this if my driveshaft fails after I get axles done. Its the last (hopefully) weak link for the power I'm making

any news on the c/f ds for the c55?

^+1....

Well to say this has been a disappointment would be an understatement. We have been waiting for well over 1.5 years for MBZ CF shafts. We have had prototypes come in and go out and none acceptable as of yet. So far, this has cost us over $5000 without a foreseeable time to delivery. Still trying...

rockjock

Make a CF hood and you'll get us on board for the CF drive shaft
Any new progress on the Blk series?

bobby02c32AMG

kinda off topic i guess...but anyone see/read anything about the new SLS AMG? They put a CF driveshaft in it. Any new info on these?

MACHC5

Darn AMG has been stealing our forum ideas again...

hooleyboy

those thieves they stole it from me!
